When the animals at the pound have decided they’ve had enough, they join together against anyone who walks on two legs. But with this newfound freedom comes the challenge on how best to lead everyone. When the groups work together will their efforts be enough to be fair for everyone?

This kept my attention for about ¾ of it and then I ended up skimming the ending. The artwork was great – a bit dark, a bit creepy/off putting, but in an interesting way, made the animals more realistic that’s for sure.

Obviously I hated Piggy and his Trump-like actions.

Overall, an interesting retelling of Animal Farm but with animals and a little more connection with modern times.
